Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may receive information indicating a potential handoff for another apparatus in communication with the apparatus. The apparatus may adjust, based on the information indicating the potential handoff, a communication parameter or a communication rate associated with the communication before the potential handoff occurs. The apparatus may identify a potential handoff during communication with another apparatus. The apparatus may cause, based on identifying the potential handoff, an adjustment to a communication parameter or a communication rate associated with the communication before the potential handoff occurs.
